He's in the Marvel universe, and his first step is marrying Scarlet Witch.

Upon hearing this, Li Chuan pretended to think for a moment.

"If that's really the case, I can agree to your conditions on behalf of Konoha, but I can't represent the other ninja villages."

If possible, please release the village leaders first. I hope to discuss this with them before making a decision.

"Can."

With a wave of his hand, Nagato released the seals on the village leaders one by one, and the White Zetsu delivered them to the Allied Shinobi Forces.

The two temporarily put away the terrifying black energy sphere condensed by the Earth-Exploding Star and fell from the sky.

"What do you think of Nagato's conditions?"

Li Chuan asked the Kage of each village, mainly the Kage and acting Kage of the other four major ninja villages.

The Fourth Raikage A, the Fifth Mizukage Mei Terumi, the Third Tsuchikage Onoki, and the Sunagakure's temporary acting Kage, Granny Chiyo, exchanged glances and nodded in unison.

"We agree!"

Just kidding, they might want to refuse, but the result of refusing would be that everyone would die together, so there's no way they could refuse!

Now they can only console themselves that at least they weren't wiped out by a single village, but rather that everyone has come together to build a better home.

At least none of their relatives and friends died in this war.

At least in the future they will never have to fight wars or kill people again.

Although this is not the best option.

But if you think about it carefully, Sunagakure and Iwagakure had already been defeated by Amegakure. If Nagato hadn't spared their lives, the two villages would have already disappeared from history.

Because of their declaration of war against Konoha, both Kumogakure and Kirigakure had long since become prisoners of Konoha.

They already had no say in this matter; the power lay with Nagato and the Fifth Hokage.

Being able to secure a place in the newly established ninja empire would already be the best outcome.

"In that case, Nagato, we agree to your proposal!"

After the four major ninja villages spoke, the Kage of the other smaller ninja villages echoed their agreement, and no one objected. Li Chuan turned to Nagato and told him their choice.

After listening, Nagato nodded and addressed everyone:

"Now that we've established a ninja empire, we definitely need an emperor to rule us, I think."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by several shadows in unison:

"It absolutely can't be you!"

They could accept uniting to build a unified empire, but the Jedi could not accept Nagato, the one who started the Fourth Shinobi World War, as their leader, because that would be tantamount to Nagato defeating them all and unifying them all.

"I think this seat should be taken by the Fifth Hokage, Lord Enkawa."

Raikage was the first to put forward his choice.

He always believed that the strong should be respected. Li Chuan was not only strong, but also once held a position of equal status with them, and had the noble status of a prince of the Land of Fire. More importantly, his character was impeccable; he was willing to sacrifice himself to save everyone.

Li Chuan possesses the same magnanimous heart as the First Shinobi God of Konoha. It is believed that even those who are not Konoha ninjas will not fare too badly after Li Chuan becomes the emperor.

He didn't respect anyone except Li Chuan.

"I also think the Fifth Hokage would be more suitable."

The Mizukage, Tsuchikage, Acting Kazekage, and some Kage from smaller ninja villages also gave the same answer.

The reasons are the same: after experiencing all that before, they believe that only Li Chuan's character and ability are worthy of that position.

Nagato remained silent for a moment upon seeing this, then finally nodded:

"If it were Yuanchuan, I would be willing to relinquish the throne. I acknowledge his strength and believe he can uphold the ideals of peace and bring an end to war in this world."

But I have one more condition.

"What are the conditions?"

Li Chuan stepped forward and asked.

Nagato pointed at Danzo, whose expression was now complex:

"This Danzo killed many of my friends in order to seize the Rinnegan. I don't want to kill him for revenge. He doesn't have many years left to live. I will seal his chakra and let him continue to live as an ordinary civilian."

"What did you say, old man?"

Upon hearing this, Danzo was so angry that he was about to step forward to argue.

He had just wanted to compete for the throne, but he knew it was impossible, so he didn't speak up.

Now I'm thinking about which important position to take from Li Chuan if the empire is established, how to seize power step by step, and what methods to use, etc.

I never expected Nagato to pull this stunt.

If his chakra is sealed, he will no longer be able to use ninjutsu, and he will not be able to participate in the establishment of the empire. As a commoner, it would be better to let him die now.

However, at that moment, his shoulder was suddenly pressed down by the Third Generation next to him.

"Shimura, the bigger picture is at stake. This is for the peace of the entire ninja world, and for all the ninjas of Konoha and our families in the village."

We're all getting old. I'll stay with you, Xiaochun, and Menyan and we'll enjoy our retirement together. Let's leave the future to these young people!

The Third Hokage was quite open-minded. Since Li Chuan, the Fifth Hokage, had become the emperor, it didn't seem to make much difference if he and Konoha unified the entire ninja world.

In the future, when the ninja world is at peace and there are no more wars, it seems that there will be no need for this department that deals with the darkness of the villages.

"Hiruzen, you!"

Upon hearing the Third Hokage's words, Danzo wanted to refute them, but after looking at everyone's eyes, he knew that the matter was settled and could only grit his teeth and nod in the end.

In the past, he would do everything under the guise of acting in the best interests of the village. He never expected that today he would be asked by others to abandon everything he had worked so hard to build over the years for the sake of the village.

He was extremely unwilling, but at this moment he was powerless to resist.

In an instant, his body deflated like a punctured balloon, aging considerably.

Seeing this, Li Chuan didn't say anything. If Danzo could live a peaceful retirement, he could live a few more years. But if he made any more moves, once the Ninja Empire was on the right track, it would be his death day.

"It seems that for now, this is the only way to proceed."

Li Chuan nodded solemnly, agreeing to become the first emperor of the Ninja Empire.

Everyone has already chosen him; any further politeness from him would seem insincere.

However, this outcome was already within his expectations. He had spent months putting on such a show, all for this day.

From then on, the Ninja Empire was officially established. It wasn't through his forceful conquest, but rather through everyone's mutual consent and sincere recommendation that he become their leader.

In the future, there is basically no need to worry about people rebelling because of his violent oppression; on the contrary, he will be remembered in history.

A hero who saved the ninja world from destruction, and a great emperor who unified the world and ended the war.

Although this was not his primary objective.
